I Love Lust for Youth + New Single

September 22, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

If you were to ask Brian or I what our favorite act was at SXSW this past year, it’s likely that one of us, or both, would have Lust for Youth high up on that list. Their performances were intoxicating, which says a lot considering they’ve got a lot of electronic work in their tracks. Even better, the band has a brand new track/single that they’re releasing today via Sacred Bones Records. It’s a solid number, just like their previous work; there’s definitely been a pop-centric twist unfolding at their camp, so take a listen today. The photo pictured left was the band hanging with B after one of their sets at Beerland. Nice chaps. Nice songs.

SxSW Music 2015: Wrapping It All Up

April 6, 2015 brian.gray Leave a comment

More pics of SxSW, you say? Here is the BIG POST OF GOOD for SxSW 2015. I have a big gallery so I can show off. I have a many links worth of ICYMI. I have a few bgray superlatives.

Thanks, SxSW 2015 – you were a little more manageable with a little less edge and quite frankly, I was grateful for that.

Synth Pop from Lust for Youth

May 21, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Admittedly, the last few years I’ve always let B.Gray cover our electronically induced pop music. But, that being said, bands like Black Marble, TRUST and now Lust for Youth have really begun to sway my opinion. This new single from the latter is the perfect example of why I’ve begun to make that switch; it’s hard for anyone to listen to this track and not get excited about the band’s up-coming record. There’s not too much dabbling in oddities, instead just a straight-forward presentation of good old synth pop. You can expect more like-minded songs when the band releases International via Sacred Bones on June 10th (that’s one busy release day!).

New Synth Pop Up from Lust for Youth

March 25, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

The last few releases from Lust for Youth have been really dark, and almost sterile, in their construction. But, this new single, from the band’s forthcoming LP, International, seems to have more pop sensibility, both in the electronic instrumentation and the tonal quality of the vocals. Still, there’s something dark and sinister that always seems to accompany the group’s work, so if they’re able to combine that with a few pop elements, this could be a hands-down favorite at the ATH offices. The new album will be out on June 10th via Sacred Bones, who will include a cassette of remixes if you pick it up from them.

Chaos In Tejas Pick: The Men @ Red 7 (5/31)

May 31, 2013 RayRay Leave a comment

Date	5/31/13
Location	Red 7
Doors	6pm
Tickets	$12 @ Frontgate

The Chaos continues this evening with what might be my most anticipated show of the festival. I am of course speaking of The Men playing over at Red 7 this evening. Having seen the band several times in the live setting, I can attest to the fact that they will bring the pain and make your ear drums bleed (in a good way). Let’s not forget that the undercard is also loaded with Destruction Unit, Lust For Youth, Pharmakon, Marshstepper, and Bodies of Light all in tow to offer up support.

Dark Electro Pop from Lust for Youth

May 9, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I don’t know if you were paying attention, but I praised Growing Seeds, the last LP from Lust for Youth, the project of Hannes Norrvide. He’s going to be releasing another LP this year, Perfect View, and I’m already in love with what he’s offered up as his first single. Musically, it’s dark, and while it might not be the most expansive piece, it’s definitely captivating. The lyrics are said, almost shouted, which provides another haunting layer to the sound. Sacred Bones will be releasing the album on June 11th, and you can bet I’ll be in line for that one.
